Many thanks for this. I've just acquired the re-fixing kit, only to find that my front rack doesn't have a central eyelet on the front rail. It appears in every other way to be identical to the rack you show in your last photo. Weird, or what? I'm wondering if I can fit the bracket to an eyelet...
I know this is an old post but the link provided goes to a Thule rear rack, so what you're saying about the need to reposition your front light doesn't really scan.
They are indeed out there, but very expensive for what they are. I'm in the UK and am quoted 14.95 Euros plus 15.99 Euros for P&P. Outrageous! Here's the page though:

Coincidentally, I obtained my front carrier bag today as well. I've just screwed it on to the carrier, for extra security, and now wish I hadn't. It's going to be a real faff to unscrew it every time I want to use the carrying strap!
Yes, as Transamspirit has said. But should you want to take the front rack off, you'll need shorter bottle lugs. Obtainable from R&M through your dealer.
I'm really glad you posted this excellent review, not least because it saved me the trouble! I have exactly the same bike and set-up, though with 1125 WH batteries, and can agree with almost every word. I have mine from OnBike of Worcester - my dealer experience was very similar to yours though...
An update on my bike re-sale issue. I sold the Kalkhoff on eBay for around 35% of its original price; it was after all 6 years old and I was glad to dispose of it. The 3 year-old R&M Delite went on eBay for 60% of its price new. Thanks for the advice guys.
Thanks everyone for your responses. I had hoped though that Court would respond to the suggestion of a separate strand of work on resale e-bikes. I've asked the question again in case he missed it first time.
BTW anyone in the UK want to buy a Kalkhoff Endeavour S10 (2015) or a Reise and Muller...
Hi Court
I mentioned in a different thread (I think!) how interesting it would be to explore the resale market for e-bikes, particularly in the USA and the UK. Any plans to move in that dorection?
